AS PER THE FRENCH POLYMATH PAUL VALERY, ” THE BEST WAY TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS  COME TRUE IS TO WAKE UP.”

Thank you grandfather…

 Don’t you stop sometimes and wonder how your mind can play tricks on you or can boost you…it’s like having a second person within you that you have to be aware of and master it because it can either be your best friend or your worst enemy. Let’s go back when I was only 10 years old, I was having a random discussion with my mom about my birth…Yes kids are curious!:) I asked her what was the reaction of the family when I was born and to my surprise she said “ well, everybody was extremely happy EXCEPT for your grandfather- he had concern since his son brought a girl not a boy to this world”. And he said the famous sentence “7aram my son brought a girl to this world”. Now don’t take me wrong my grandfather is a great person and very loving but old middle eastern mentality says that women have more of a difficult laborious life then men from a social, professional and family perspective and they are not free to do want they want to do. With all the love that I have for my grandfather I never agreed on what he said back then. This sentence when you are a kid it can either make you or break you for a lifetime . Fortunately enough his statement made me more persistent by embracing challenges in life and venturing on what I want despite being a girl, a woman, a sister, a daughter and finally an ENTREPRENEUR. logging!
